The 1905 Committee stands for civic engagement and accountability. Our purpose has always been, and remains, to hold Premier Danielle Smith accountable to the true conservative values she was elected to uphold.
Many see this weekend as a “defeat” for the 1905 Committee, but in reality, the exact opposite is true.
This is what success looks like.
1. Unprecedented Engagement: Over 6,000 Albertans attended the UCP AGM, marking the largest political gathering in Canadian history. This turnout shows a groundswell of civic participation.
2. Proof of Public Pressure: In the weeks leading up to the AGM, a rapid succession of legislative proposals was put forth, demonstrating that public pressure can drive meaningful results.
3. High Expectations Set: Due to this pressure, Danielle Smith has set a high bar of expectations and must now follow through with impactful and timely actions. The bar has never been higher.
4. Unwavering Conservative Support: With 91.5% support for the Premier, any cabinet minister or staff member who hinders the conservative mandate does so at their own peril. The mandate for conservative values is now indisputable.
5. A Moment for Bold Action: There has never been a better time for the Premier to act boldly and fulfill the promises made in her powerful speech.

A very interesting opinion piece by Keean Bexte. I haven’t been much of a fan of his for some time. I found his rants much like Rath’s…way over the top. However, maybe he’s mellowed because this has me thinking.

Mark Carney does not have a one seat majority.
Not yet.
But Ottawa is already acting as though one more floor crossing is inevitable, as though it would be stabilizing, as though it would crown Carney as unassailable. That assumption is wrong. And it should give pause to any Conservative MP currently flirting with the idea of defecting.
If you cross the floor and hand Carney a one seat majority, you are not his greatest asset.
You are his hostage.
A government that survives by a single vote is not strong. It is deeply vulnerable. And the people with the most leverage in that environment are not the newcomers who just arrived. They are the vestiges of the Trudeau era who never left.
Steven Guilbeault. Karina Gould. Others who believe this party was theirs before Carney arrived and should be theirs again.

In 1943, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada, where he served until 1959.
